His Beloved Treasure

Chapter 1894: Chapter 544: Taming Mrs. Mu (Part 4)

Their home isn’t big, but she’s happy they’re always together.

However, the deep bond between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law doesn’t mean the couple is harmonious. At night, Qin Mu and Mu Yichen lie in bed with each holding a phone. Mu Yichen plays games, while she chats in a group.

Helian Hao and Qin Mingzhu, the two pregnant women, are quite terrifying—they can send a hundred messages in minutes, leaving Qin Mu’s head spinning and unable to keep up.

Good Doctor: ”I wonder how our Miss Qin is getting along with her husband now?”

Qin Mingzhu: ”She hasn’t uttered a word for so long, she must be off getting it on!”

Good Doctor: ”But with your brother-in-law like that, he seems to have abstained for a long time!”

Qin Mingzhu: ”Is that so! Could it be causing internal injuries? You’re a doctor—you should analyze it for me!”

Good Doctor: ”What good is it if we analyze here? If your sister becomes unusable, there’s no rush for us.”

Qin Mingzhu: ”Never mind her then, hehe! I believe in my brother-in-law’s self-restraint; he can definitely hold back. I’m just not sure those little vixens outside can do the same.”

Good Doctor: ”Is your sister the type to care about those little vixens? She wouldn’t care if someone climbed on top of your brother-in-law.”

Qin Mingzhu: ”Climbed on top? Good Doctor, you’re wicked!”

Good Doctor: ”...Qin Mingzhu, why do you always indulge in such nonsense?”

Qin Mingzhu: ”You’re insulting me? Sis, come out—your friend is insulting your sister, you have to avenge me!”

Big Mumu: ”You two, that’s enough!”

Good Doctor: ”Ah, you were lurking!”

Qin Mingzhu: ”Caught you, dummy!”

Big Mumu: ”You two... I’m leaving!”

Good Doctor: ”No, please, we won’t talk about your husband anymore!”

Qin Mingzhu: ”Right! We also won’t mention those little vixens anymore, let you keep living in your self-deception!”

Qin Mu felt like wringing their necks, but instead, she tossed her phone aside, remembering she hadn’t brushed her teeth yet, and went to brush them.

Mu Yichen lifted his gaze and watched her leave, then turned to look at her phone.

Noticing her frowning at the screen earlier, he wondered who she was chatting with, so he reached for it. Her phone wasn’t locked, and the group chat was still open, with another thirty or forty messages. He read through them one by one.

Ha!

Some people just love to stir the pot.

Big Mumu: ”You two should really persuade her to stop being so stubborn. Thank you, my two lady ancestors!”

Good Doctor: ”What’s going on?”

Qin Mingzhu: ”?”

Good Doctor: ”Something’s come up, I’ll be stepping out for a bit!”

Qin Mingzhu: ”Something’s come up, I’ll be stepping out for a bit!”

The group chat suddenly fell silent until Xi Meng popped in: ”Boss?”

Mu Yichen immediately retracted that message, putting the phone back before Qin Mu returned.

Xi Meng’s message was also retracted within two minutes, likely realizing she had misspoken.

When Qin Mu returned to bed and saw everyone had left, she didn’t bother scrolling back to read their messages. Instead, she glanced at Mu Yichen: ”Going to sleep!”

Mu Yichen was still touching his phone: ”Hmm!”

He didn’t even look up.

Seeing him so engrossed, Qin Mu turned off her bedside lamp, turned away from him, and went to sleep.

Mu Yichen’s dark eyes then looked at her back, thinking, didn’t I tell you during the day? At night, you automatically turn around and sleep in my arms. Why are you facing away now? Careful, I won’t hold you in the middle of the night!

But he didn’t say a word aloud, and after the light went out, there was nothing to see in his eyes; he lay quietly on his side, waiting.

Qin Mu later turned around, also lying on her back, and stared at the ceiling as she told him: ”Mom agreed to let me work overtime at the hotel tomorrow night!”

”Hmm!”

Mu Yichen replied with a sound.

Qin Mu glanced at him, feeling a bit helpless: ”Then, goodnight!”

”Goodnight!”

Mu Yichen replied softly too, but his hands were lightly drumming on his firm abdomen, seemingly not planning to sleep at all.

But with the room darkened, neither could see the other, relying instead on their senses.

Qin Mu didn’t turn back to him later. Mu Yichen cautiously turned to look at her face, feeling she was asleep. Usually, she would turn around in the middle of the night, why not tonight?

Her amazing self-restraint was giving him a headache.

Still, he couldn’t help but gradually fall asleep close to her back, as if her scent had a calming effect.

After breakfast the next day, Qin Mu stopped by the studio before heading to the hotel, while Mu Yichen went straight to the office.
